SEATTLE (AP) - Washington has signed Bay Area high school standout Desmond Simmons to a letter of intent.

Coach Lorenzo Romar said Wednesday the power forward reminds him of energetic former Huskies team leader Bobby Jones.

Simmons is expected to enroll in time for the 2010-11 season.

Romar says the 6-foot-7 Simmons has mental and physical toughness and a "motor (that) is always running."

Simmons scored 31 points and 19 rebounds for Salesian High School of Richmond, Calif., in the Northern California championship game last spring.

He will join former Utah prep scoring leader C.J. Wilcox as additions next season. Romar has announced Wilcox will redshirt as a freshman this season.
